Vucevic, Afflalo & mediocre picks

Either a very bad joke or a big smoke screen

Yeah, pretty sure we would be getting more than that.

If the 4 team trade involving @DwightHoward happens, every team (@Lakers, Magic, 76ers & Nuggets) win in the deal.

After these two tweets simultaneously, I think the DEAL is actually DONE.

no.

You sure about that? :wink:

Here is the thing though.....for Afflalo to be involved, that would mean Denver has to be getting something back.....for Iggy to be involved that means that one of the Laker bigs is going to Philly. For one of the Laker bigs to go to Philly that means that Dwight is going to LA. But if Pau isn't involved that means it's Bynum. What does Denver get though? JRich + a piece from one of those two teams? So ALL we get back for Dwight Howard is Afflalo? No way....no how...

Something doesn't add up.

Wow, what the heck happened? I left for 20 minutes and we jumped 6 pages I think. Something seems to be going down. Is ESPN really reporting trade imminent?

Couldn't agree more.

Source close to Pau Gasol: Spaniard is not in the proposed 4-team deal that would bring DHoward to Lakers.

That menas Bynum is coming to Orlando???? I would LOVE Bynum and Afflalo!!

I'd argue that Bynum and Afflalo is better than Dwight

then what does Philly get? Denver?

So we are getting Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis?

Ric Bucher ‏@RicBucher
What I believe: Orl/LAL busting their respective backsides to get a deal done asap. But proposed deal raises too many ?s to feel confident.

If we do pull off Affalo & Bynum coming in for us, we've come a LOOOONG way from Lopez & Marshon Brooks

Ric Bucher ‏@RicBucher
To be forthright: it's conceivable Pau could get dealt with his camp being told otherwise. Rarely happens, but can't say it never does.

AFFLALO and BYNUM? Deal!

thelead · Post #300 » by **thelead** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 12:11 am

I can't even think of a deal that would really make sense for all 4 of those teams... If we don't get Bynum, we sure as hell need to get Turner at the very least... We, then, wouldn't need Aflalo. Maybe we could get Chandler from Denver... I don't know.
